Description:

Small dark brown spider with fuzzy legs and a light brown bulbous back. About the size of a pinky finger nail.

Found him in the corner of a concrete bench in Orlando, Florida. No web. Surrounding area contains lots of moisture and vegetation and little interference from humans.

Notes:

It seems his legs were tucked in when I saw him.

I put the ID up for you. Take a look at Bug Guide to get a better idea what this spider is. Shamrocks come in all kinds of color combinations.

Looks like a Shamrock Orb Weaver Spider, but unsure of your area.
